If you’re in the market for something a little different you might want to consider the Huawei P9. It’s a flagship phone with an innovative camera and Three has confirmed that it will be stocking the phone soon.

You get a whole lot for your money too. It’s immediately clear this is a flagship phone, thanks to its metal shell and slim 6.95mm thick build.

Turn it on and you’re greeted by a large and sharp 5.2-inch 1080p display and it’s got all the power you’ll need, thanks to 3GB of RAM and a 64-bit octa-core Kirin 955 processor clocked at up to 2.5GHz.

The real highlight though is its dual 12MP rear-facing cameras. Not many phones have two cameras on the back and the Huawei P9 takes a unique approach to this, with one normal lens and one monochrome sensor.

You can either use just the monochrome sensor to take true black and white photos or use both sensors to allow the camera to take in more light and get great contrast. This setup has been co-engineered with camera legends Leica, so you know it’ll be good.

Other specifics include 32GB of built in storage, a microSD card slot, a large 3000 mAh battery, an 8MP front-facing camera and a speedy fingerprint scanner. In short the Huawei P9 is a flagship through and through and one which delivers a truly powerful camera experience.

Three hasn’t confirmed when the phone will be touching down on the network, but it’s expected to start arriving in stores any day now, so keep an eye out for it.
